About this day nursery

The Village Pre-Schools in Tyles Green provides a friendly and welcoming environment for children aged 2 to 4 years. Established in 1965, the pre-school operates weekdays from 9:15 am to 3:15 pm.

Children settle quickly into well-resourced rooms and build strong relationships with staff, who go "above and beyond" for them, as reported by parents. The pre-school was rated "Good" by Ofsted on 27 February 2023.

Children enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum, with books being integral to fostering a love of reading. Staff work closely with parents to identify and support children's learning needs, especially for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), creating precise plans and regularly reviewing targets with professionals.

This contributes to children making good progress. The pre-school offers enriching outdoor learning experiences, such as attending a nearby forest school twice a week and exploring outside in all weathers, helping to support physical development.

Children relish opportunities to engage in new experiences, like making a volcano. They also develop strong independence skills, such as pouring their own drinks and preparing to go outside.

Children are encouraged to be happy and confident, exploring their environment, building friendships, and playing well together.

My eldest child went there and my middle child is currently at the pre school. It’s been 5 years since my eldest was there and it’s still the same staff which I really like. The staff are genuinely lovely people and great with the kids. There is a male member of staff who I think is a fantastic role model and he runs the forest school that they can do once a week, this proved incredibly popular with my children (and even with me when I attended the final session!). I have noticed since my second child a real shift in communication skills, with a lot of sign language being used and a lady comes in to do sign and rhyme (it does cost a few pounds) but I think this form of communication is a priceless skill to learn. The cost is massively competitive compared to other pre schools/nurseries in the area, and because of this I think it allows for the choice of paying for the extra classes they offer in football etc from external companies. Most of all - my children have been really happy there. My 3rd child will 100% be going there.

My children attend this preschool and not only love it here but are thriving. All have come out of their shell and actively look forward to every single day. Cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are amazing and it is such a caring and nurturing environment. Great learning environment with a lot of emphasis on outdoors and hands on learning too.
